If you deny after your Instant Check, you will NOT take possession of your auction firearms or ammunition and they will be sold at our next available auction and a check will be mailed to you for whatever the gun brings minus a commission fee.

AUCTION GUNS WON BY OUT OF STATE BIDDERS: KNOW YOUR STATE LAWS PRIOR TO BIDDING ON AN ITEM. If you are not a Ohio resident, we will ship your firearms to your local gun dealer when he faxes us his signed, current FFL license, E-Mails a copy, or sends it in the mail. If you have a current ATF C&R License we can ship qualified firearms to your home if your state law permits. The shipping cost varies according to size, weight, value and destination. In some cases we can get two or more handgun/rifles in one box and the charge per gun will be reduced. We'll work with you on this to be the most economical. We will provide a tracking number to you once the gun ships if you request it. We are experts at packing firearms correctly and will make sure your firearms get to your dealer safely. We highly suggest that your local FFL dealer be instructed by you NOT to open the shipping carton until you are present. This is very important! Your name will appear on the shipping label to facilitate this request.
